How Can You Get Involved?

If you are a faculty member... The CIR provides
faculty from nearly any discipline an opportunity to enrich your research through collaborating with faculty and students in statistics. Contact Julie Legler , Paul Roback or Matt Richey to discuss potential collaborations. Contact information appears below.

If you are a student... Students with statistics
concentrations can gain invaluable experience by participating in
interdisciplinary research. Besides getting to know other statistics
students, you apply your statistics knowledge to interesting, real
research problems. You learn skills that will make you a productive,
valued member of an interdisciplinary research team. Click here to learn more.

If you are a postdoctoral fellow... As an NSF
Fellow and CIR Associate, you will have the opportunity to teach
courses, mentor enthusiastic, bright undergraduates, participate in
interdisciplinary research, and more. Click here to learn more.
